Marble Arch London BID has submitted two responses to Westminster City Council following the Council’s publication in November of Oxford Street Proposals and City Plan 2019-2040. These are two significant documents that will have a major impact on Edgware Road and Marble Arch, and we have responded to both documents to ensure that the needs of our area are met.

In relation to Oxford Street, for which our area includes Marble Arch and the far west of Oxford Street we said:

We wanted to see more transformative proposals for Marble Arch to lessen the impact on traffic on this important gateway to our area;

That Marble Arch should be promoted more as a cultural events space;

That there needs to be better pedestrian crossing facilities across the roads in the area;

That the pedestrian experience should be the same for people as they walked west along Oxford Street from Selfridges to Marble Arch rather than experience a decline in their experience due to narrower pavements;
